New and dark light years

Chapter 429 Tolerance is great
The next day!

Li Lin carried a brocade box containing several bottles of pills and went to the Yang residence.

The Yang residence was also the residence of the emperor's brother-in-law.

When Li Lin arrived at the gate of the Yang residence, there was a middle-aged gatekeeper. Upon seeing Li Lin, the gatekeeper asked in a somewhat impatient tone, "What are you doing here?"

"I have come to the meeting at the invitation of Consort Rong."

"So you're the southern barbarian from Jin County?"

Li Lin smiled and flicked his right hand out.

Snapped!
The man was slapped aside, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He covered his face and stared at Li Lin in horror.

"Do you look down on me, or do the people behind you look down on me?" Li Lin asked.

Generally speaking, even the most arrogant doorman wouldn't dare speak to an official like that.

Unless... someone instructed him to do so.

who is it?

Was it Consort Rong, or someone else entirely?

The man looked at Li Lin in terror, and he forced himself to shout, "What do you want to do? This is the Yang residence, the home of the Imperial Uncle Yang!"

Li Lin laughed and said, "As the Grand Commander of Jin County, killing a gatekeeper is a piece of cake for me. Yang Guojiu won't turn against me for a gatekeeper. Who ordered you to do this?"

The gatekeeper trembled all over.

Li Lin asked, "The Imperial Concubine?"

The doorman shook his head instinctively.

"Yang Guojiu?"

The doorman still shook his head.

"Who is that?"

The gatekeeper did not answer.

But judging from the man's expression, Li Lin understood that this man's actions were indeed instigated.

Even if he wasn't Yang Guojiu, he was still inextricably linked to the Yang family.

At this moment, a man came out from behind the door. He had his hands behind his back and was bowing, looking like a servant. But his attitude was different: "County Commandant Li, why make things difficult for a gatekeeper? This is improper."

"And who are you?" Li Lin looked at him. "You don't even know how to bow to an official?"

The middle-aged man paused for a moment, then finally pulled his hands out from behind his back, bowed with great difficulty, and said, "This humble man greets Lord Li."

There was a sarcastic tone to his speech.

Li Lin looked at the gatekeeper and asked, "Is this your butler?"

The doorman nodded.

"What's his last name?"

“Qin…” the gatekeeper said instinctively.

"Shut up!" the middle-aged man shouted angrily, trying to stop him, but it was too late.

Li Lin looked at him and understood: "Oh, so you're from the traitorous Qin family."

"Our Qin family of Feirong County is not a traitor," Steward Qin said viciously. "This is all a frame-up by you."

His eyes were filled with resentment as he looked at Li Lin.

Li Lin looked up at the plaque above and said, "The Yang family can protect you, but you'd better pray that you never leave the Yang family or the capital. Otherwise, I have hundreds of ways to turn you into a traitor again."

Butler Qin looked at Li Lin, his resentful eyes beginning to show a hint of fear.

Li Lin said calmly, "Now, lead the way."

Butler Qin's pupils contracted slightly, but he still bowed and gestured for them to proceed.

But his actions didn't seem willing at all. They carried a heavy sense of humiliation.

Upon entering the Yang residence, Li Lin discovered that the garden layout was even more... luxurious.

There are a whole bunch of exotic flowers and rare herbs.

For example, the Water Drop Guanyin... This thing is just a weed growing wildly next to dry toilets in the southern border region, but here in the capital, it is an extremely precious plant.

Because it's very difficult to grow crops here.

But here there are rows of greenery on both sides, making it look lush and green.

It's clear how much manpower and resources it takes to raise this thing so well in the north.

Besides the Water Drop Guanyin, there are also a large number of plants that can only grow in the southern Xinjiang region, and they are abundant here.

Li Lin glanced around a few times before being led to the central courtyard by the butler.

In the central hall, there was a soft couch, and several women were sitting around it, feeding a few grapes to the woman lying on her side.

Li Lin looked over and saw purple grapes and two small, cherry blossom-petal-shaped lips.

The steward trotted forward, knelt down, and said, "Your Majesty, the person you wished to see has arrived."

The woman, who had been lying on her side on the soft couch, got up.

Li Lin's first impression was that the wind and waves were quite strong today. Even with the purple gauze covering them, the exaggerated shapes were still visible.

Almost perfect, only slightly inferior to the Tree Fairy Goddess.

She truly deserves to be called the most beautiful woman in the world.

Unfortunately, it's ultimately a matter of human level.

Li Lin estimated that in another five or six years, after Huang Qing has undergone a long period of dual cultivation and has more spiritual energy, Huang Qing will be much more beautiful than her.

But now, the woman before me is the most beautiful woman in the world.

This is an indisputable fact.

"Li Lin, the county magistrate of Yulin County in Jin Prefecture, has come at the invitation of the Empress."

Consort You Rong sat up straight. Her expression was originally languid, but when she saw Li Lin's face, she smiled and said, "You are really handsome. I'm sure many women would want to marry you."

"It's alright." Li Lin cupped his hands and asked, "May I ask what brings Your Majesty here?"

"So soon we're getting down to business? It's not good for a man to be too hasty." Consort You Rong's voice was sweet, though it carried a hint of the southern border accent, it sounded quite soft and gentle: "I haven't been back to Jin County since I was fifteen. Tell me about your family first."

Li Lin clasped his hands in a fist and said, "I am a military officer and not good with words."

Upon hearing this, the palace maids serving Consort Rong were all extremely surprised.

Consort Yourong burst into laughter, her whole body shaking with mirth, especially her genitals.

Li Lin immediately looked away, refusing to look at what was improper.

"You are more handsome than most women. I thought you would be covered in rouge, but I didn't expect you to be a man." Consort Yourong covered her mouth and laughed twice, then said, "Please sit down."

A palace maid brought over a chair, and Li Lin sat down gracefully.

"Your youth-preserving pills are excellent, I like them very much." Consort Yourong subconsciously touched her face: "As a woman, I have achieved what I have today because of this face, and your youth-preserving pills can prolong my appearance, but... pills always have an end, and I will grow old one day. The thought of that day terrifies me. Commander Li, can you understand my anxiety?"

"I can roughly understand it."

"I'm glad you understand, so I just wanted to ask if you have any better elixirs."

Li Lin shook his head: "For women, there is no better elixir than the Youth Preservation Pill. Besides, elixirs are external things; if you really want to stay young, you still have to rely on your own cultivation."

“Cultivation.” Consort Yourong laughed, then pointed to her chest, where her finger pressed down to reveal a soft indentation. “I… Yang Yourong, am a good-for-nothing with no other talents besides beauty. You want me to cultivate? Isn’t that like telling someone who has no hands or feet to go and be a surfer on the Qiantang River?”

Li Lin raised his eyebrows.

He never expected that Consort Rong would be so self-aware.

Consort You Rong continued, “The Li family of Jin County… if you can refine the Youth Preservation Pill, then you can refine even better pills. Just tell me what you need, and I will get it for you if I can obtain it. If I can’t obtain it, I will ask the Emperor to help you get it. There is nothing in this world that is impossible.”
